Glad you mentioned TMBG Akyho, until recently i was obsessed with them. i definitely had Don't lets start on repeat and they'll need a crane too but the song i played back the most is Mr. Me.

The song which is fascinate me a lot "Coffee House" I play over and over again.

At first I was going "I don't think I know this song." then the whistling started and it made complete sense. They'll need a crane was also amazing.

Another song of TMBG Older.


Now.....let this little tune get stuck in your head FOREVER and also play it over and over again.


I think this is the song your talking about....and it is actually quiet nice.

DMX - Let Me Fly


more recently

Kiesza - Hideaway (I think this got 2-3 spins in a row, and multiple consecutive album listens)

DwnWthVwls posting Let me Fly reminded me of the amazing Lance Mathew of Earth Wind and Fire fame's Lets Fly and this song is just amazing and was probably one of the more played songs on an old Ipod I had.



Also the song I will listen to again and again is again and again.......by The Bird and the Bee.

Cue buying Berlin used around 1986, listening it with some great friends who were also getting their first taste of the song.


Cue - buying Big Star's Third after reading so much about it and knowing of This Mortal Coil's great covers from this album. Pretty much lived with the album for a month.


This was part of a soundtrack to my days after 1988, when I saw what could be my last Punk show of my Teens/Early 20's (UK Subs at the Harbor, a once-big theater turned Porno which closed and about to be a Punk concert hall...closed after two or three shows). I still needed to hear more of that intense madness. When I returned to watching Punk shows, and was briefly a part of a local band, I felt that hardly anything touched this.





Yeah, I also dig this.

Soooo this is gonna be a sort of large themed post (I thought it best to keep this condensed.)

I am a a fan of a webcomic called Homestuck people may or may not know it, however despite it being a webcomic, MUSIC HAS A HUGE DEAL WITH IT! Much of it composed by many different people over the years (there is no set composer for homestuck) and this expands outside of the actual comic (which is filled with music, animations and even interactive RPG like parts....) to fans making their own fantastic musical works.

So without going on about the comic I will go on about some of the music...of which there is alot. I will keep it to just the music and no extra animations just the noises speakers makes towards your phono receptors on the side of your head.

So these are some of the choice tunes I HAVE TO KEEP LISTENING TO and could not get enough of once I heard them for the first time.


Alot of it is based on 16bit or so music with many other interesting tunes in many a genre.

This was a tune that hut me early and made me know I was in for a good time.


This track just had me bouncing with it from the moment it started and it never leaves my mind unless I play it...in which case it is now in my ears for a short time.


So this track is what actually got me into Homestuck and I replayed it it a tone of times before I even knew a thing about Homestuck. Friend threw it and the animation that folks made with it and I was entranced (non animated version to keep things simple.)

This is one of those tunes that goes places with many different styles within it.


Descend is so triumphant.


Cascade is another that goes places and really amounts to like 9 songs/styles in one...all great.


This is just a kick ass sort of Dubstep? track.



Then I get into the fans songs which these are the ones I love and listened to 10+ times once I found them.
The bouncy and dark Criminal Criminal.


Phemiec is just so good with her soft voice and gentle tunes while being lyrically melodic.


Followed with this dark meaningful song.


That is just a small sampling of what there is and more so this is the stuff that got me addicted to them.

PPS I forgot this cover of a 1909 Vaudeville song by Eddie Morton I am a member of the midnight crew. Except.....remade into a weird funky post punk version!

I'll admit that with a lot of music listening history in my life through the years I felt compelled to actually go through a lot of my memories when this question was turned into a thread topic. In a way, this would also re-introduce my music listening to the MB forms as I have been away for a very long time.

A classic...


Don't really know what the image is connecting with, but these songs from The Bonniwell Music Machine (The Music Machine's second part of it's original existence) and it's leader Sean Bonniwell as TS Bonniwell (Thomas Sean Boniwell is his real name) are prime brooding Garage Punk.


When I first got on the Internet a seriously long time ago, it was way past the funeral of what was called "Britpop" and I was interested in what little of it was going on from that at the time after the fall. Rialto were a favorite of mine although to some they might not have been one of the big highlights - then again due to record company crap they were never had a chance to develop. When I first heard that their second album was finally released, and actually placed to stream officially on some now long-forgotten site, I took a chance to hear it online. There was kind of a bittersweet feeling like you knew that you were one of the few who heard some of the final notes of the scene you followed when it was actually around.




One more...

Kudos to rostasi for playing it in dub.track yesterday.
